BEAVERTON, Ore. – More than 300 members of First Tech CU have been called by automated messages seeking to steal their account information. No one has been hit by the potential fraud, but 25 members have given out confidential information that could be used to access their accounts, police said. The credit union has taken steps to block those accounts. The message tells members their account has expired and provides a toll-free number to resolve the problem. This type of fraud is known as vishing because it is similar to an online phishing scam but uses virtual phone calls.
